WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The other
day, the president said that It might
be Just as well to make speculation
on the- stock market dangerous o
people would stay out.
Nov listen to a low chuckle from a
bewhlskered old gentleman who tuna
out to be Public Speculator No. 1.
He la none other than Uncle 8am
himself, who plunged to the tune of
nearly thirteen bllUona, cornered the
gold market and now shows a profit
of over (36,000,000 as It stands today.
Since 1034, when the gold act was
passed by congress, the United States
has bought oil gold offered at 835
an ounce. The treasury statement
shows that the federal government
now owns a total of 412.804.000.000
In gold, stored away In Its specially
constructed vaults In Fort Knox,
Kentucky. Not counting the paper
profit of $1,800,000, which Is now used
as a stabilization fund by Bccrctary
Morgenthau, the government can re
cord a profit at the present market
of $36,082,000 on Its stock of gold.
With Europe panicky over the pros
pect of war, gold Is being bought
again and tha price In London Is ten
cents an ounce above the official
valuation.
Another thing that la boosting the
price Is the fear that the United
States might revalue its gold In terms
of dollars again. But on that sub
ject no tips aro available at the
treasury.
Joe Kennedy, chairman of the mari
time commission, offering tho results

he describes It the survey of the

public to decide whether or not It

Meanwhile, the case of the 8.S.

Mr. Kennedy's enemies declare that

Ramsay MacDonald's Death
Leaves Britain Divided in
Appraisal of Long Career
LONDON. Nov. 10. (A) The death of James Ramsay MacDonald. the
son of a poor Scottish farmer who lived to decline an earldom, divided
Britain today In appraisal of his life.
Against those who lauded the
three-time prime mlnoster as savior
of the nation in tbe dark days of
1931, there were others who regarded
him as a traitor to the labor party
he built.
The 71 -year-old Scotsman, Britain's
first tabor prime minister and the
first prime minister to visit the Unit
ed States, died last night aboara a
South America-bound ship on a quest
for the peace and happiness he had
failed to find in hie unique, stormy
political career.
He had sailed last Thursday in
search of what he called "the most
elusive of all forms of happiness
rest."
Death apparently was due to a hear
attack following a long period of poor
health. His daughter Sheila, his sole
companion on tho voyage, messaged
that the body would be taken off the
hlp. Relna Del Pacifico, at Bermuda
Monday.
Tribute came from all parties for
the man who rose from that humble
dwelling to No. 10 Downing street
But the tribute teas for two distinct
phases of his career.
Concerratlves praised MacDonald's
momentous action In forming a na
tional government at the behest of
Kln, George V in the financial crista
of 1911 an action which cost him
tlie frndhlp of virtually all hi old
'aor rind socialist colleagues.

NOME. Alaska. Nov. 10. P) The
entire waterfront eastern end of
Nome, over a half mile stretch, was
wrecked by pounding seas and nearly
every building swept away by a terrif
ic storm last night and today. Bus
iness men estimated the city's losses
at more than $125,000.
The Lincoln hotel, one or the city's
largest hostelrles, waa vacated on the
order of authorities who feared It
would collapse because of water un
dermining the foundations.
With little let-up. the storm, the
worst since a tidal wave swept over
the city In 1923, continued unabated
through the forenoon hours today.
Several buildings along the water
front, smashed by the pounding
waves, had disappeared almost com
pletely. Others, their foundation
washed away, were tipped over.

JiWliNEUP
Russian Newspaper Urges
Collective Action by U. S.,
Britain, France to Halt
Italy, Germany and Japan
MOSCOW, Nov. 10. (AP) The
communist party organ, Pravda. de
clared today that the real purpose
of the Italian-German -Japanese anti
communism agreement waa to grab
territory In a new world war.
The newspaper urged collective ac
tion by the United States. Britain
and France against the three powers.
"The interests of peace call for 1
opposition to block the fascist war
Incendiaries by a united front oi
countries interested In strengthen-;
tng collective security on a basis
of the Indivisibility of peace," Prav
da said.
Must Halt Aggression.
An end must be put once and
for all to tha policy of protecting
the aggressors. Italian and German
fascists and Japanese militarists must
be made to understand that at
tempts to provoke a new world war
for territorial plundering will bring
collective resistance from all peace
ful countries.
'The sooner the necessity of the
policy of collective defense of "peace
la realized by all governing circles
in the bourgeois democratic, coun
tries, especially In EnglandJ France,
and the United States, the easier It
will be to put an end to the aggres
sive acta of fascist countries pre
paring for new world slaughter."
Warning Repeated.
This editorial, the first authorita
tive soviet comment since the tri
power protocol was concluded in
Rome last Saturday, repeated the
week-old warning of the government
organ, Isvestla that an antt-com-
munlst alliance could only bring re
taliation from the Soviets.
"As the Italian-German-Japanese
agreement also la directed against
the U. 8. S. R., the soviet union,
of course, will draw Its own con
clusions," Pravda said, adding:
"The aggressive countries should
not think that their hostile policy
toward the U-S.S.R. will go unpun
ished." Pravda, like Zvestla, then recalled
that negotiation of the Soviet-Japanese
fishing convention, much needed
by Japan, was broken off a year ago
because Japan had entered the origi
nal anti-communist pact with Ger
many. NEFF RETAINED AS

Bi GRANGE CHIEF
Taber Sees Regimentation
As Sinister Influence
Tariff, Trade Treaties
Not Bringing Results
By Paul D. Shoemaker
(Associated Press Farm Editor.)
HARRISBURQ, Pa.. Nov. 10. ;p
Louis J. Taber of Columbus, Ohio,
master of the National Grange, urged
American farmers today to "preserve
their Independence," in a keynote
address, opening the organisation's
71st annual convention.
Referring to regimentation as a
"sinister Influence," Taber eald. "Ag
riculture must be the last of all In
stitutions In our land to surrender
to the philosophy that Individual In
itiative, ability and freedom of choice
are things of the past. The Grange
should today dedicate its future not
only to fight for cooperative pur
poses, but fight against unnecessary
regimentation In every form."
Tariffs Unsuccessful.
Declaring that neither our tariff
system nor our reciprocal trade
treaties are bringing the desired re
sults, Taber said:
"We all rejoice In the ' revival of
world trade, but when we bring the
matter back to agriculture and con
fine It atrlctly to farm schedules, we
find the startling faot thatk Inythe
first six months of 1937, our trade
deficit Is serious:
"Agricultural Imports, 91,151,038.223
"Agricultural exports, - 430,099,385
"Agricultural trade ' '
deficit 8 7U.038.837
"While some of these commodities
were not competitive, yet they tell
the story of millions of lost acreage
to our agriculture."
Remarks significant.
His remarks were regarded as par
ticularly significant, coming a few
days before convening of the special
session of congress to consider farm
legislation. Secretary Wallace and
other administration farm officials
are to address the convention before
It concludes November 18.
"If congress and the administration
will correct the errors of the farm
board and AAA legislation, and give
to tha open country the framework
of a real agricultural charter of lib
erty, they will have taken one of the
hlstorlo steps of this generation,"
Taber declared.
